GFC Demands Stronger Action in the Convention on Biological Diversity
Global Forest Coalition (GFC) Policy Director Mary Louise Malig spoke to Sveriges Natur on the sidelines of the UN Biodiversity Conference COP 16 in Cali, Colombia. She warned of a lack of political commitment, widespread corruption and bureaucratic obstacles, and called for binding targets and increased transparency for money to protect biodiversity – warning that civil society cannot sit by and must act separately to government inaction.
